Gear Details

With only three days until I start, I finally got around to taking pictures of all my gear! Now I'm all ready to go :)

My gear is all dialed in, and the 'Gear' page of the blog is accurate now! My baseweight (without food or water) is about 19 lbs, which I think is pretty solid. There are definitely people going much lighter than I am, but I really value comfort in places and am used to carrying pretty heavy packs. I'm sure I'll send some pieces home along the way, but I'm happy with where I am starting out. I'm also carrying some luxuries, like my watercolor kit, a sleeping pad pump, a large first aid kit, a sit-pad, and an extra wide sleeping pad.

Without further ado, here's all my gear. The first photo is how its packed in my pack, and the second includes all the details.

And then it gets all crammed back into my pack, ready for me to head out on Sunday!
